Despite being a highly accredited actor, Tom Holland sometimes needs a little help navigating Hollywood.

Thankfully he's got his "Spider-Man" co-star Zendaya to help him out with her sage advice.

In an interview with British GQ, Holland, 24, opened up about the moment that Zendaya, also 24, was able to give him some tips on how to interact with his fans.

"Talking to Zendaya [has] helped me a lot, actually," Holland admitted.

"I used to come across sometimes as a bit of a d--- to fans, mainly as I was always so surprised that they’d want a picture with me or signature or whatever," he explained. "I’d have the typical Londoner reaction, one of instant suspicion: 'Why are you talking to me?' Zendaya spotted this and quickly told me that this sort of reaction was going to be more aggro than just smiling and taking the picture."

"She totally changed the way I am able to be more comfortable in public," he added.

Holland and Zendaya have now starred in two "Spider-Man" films together, 2017's "Spider-Man: Homecoming" and 2019's "Spider-Man: Far From Home." The two -- along with their co-star, Jacob Batalon -- recently revealed the title for the third "Spider-Man" film, set for release on Dec. 17, will be "Spider-Man: No Way Home."
